For many years, Dark Horse has been adapting Neil Gaiman prose works to graphic novel form. I’ve lettered a number of them. This is the latest. I particularly enjoyed the story this is based on, as it combines two literary worlds I like: A. Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and H.P. Lovecraft’s Elder Gods. If you like either of those, or if you simply want to enjoy the excellent art of Rafael Albuquerque and the words of Neil Gaiman, I recommend this book. It should be available in shops or from Dark Horse now.
Seen a number of reviews who clearly weren’t paying attention when they wrongly name the protagonists.
One slight error (I’m guessing in the script or the art and not the letterer going off piste) is the description of a threadbare carpet over bare floorboards . . . tiny quibble . . .
Have a poster with the original short story on it and think that this is a fine adaptation.
